A principle is the expression of perfection, and as imperfect beings like us cannot practise perfection, we devise every moment limits of its compromise in practice.

Summary

This quote suggests that human beings strive for perfection but are unable to achieve it due to our inherent imperfections. As imperfect creatures, we constantly create principles as a way to strive for perfection in our actions and behavior. However, we are aware that we can never truly reach perfection, so we continuously create compromises and limitations in our pursuit of practicing these principles in our daily lives. Essentially, the quote highlights the constant balancing act between our pursuit of perfection and the realities of our imperfect nature.
